Homologous recombination deficiency in newly diagnosed FIGO stage III/IV high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer: a multi-national observational study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2023-08-07)
OBJECTIVE: Olaparib plus bevacizumab maintenance therapy improves survival outcomes in women with newly diagnosed, advanced, high-grade ovarian cancer with a deficiency in homologous recombination. We report data from the ...
Mutations in ALK signaling pathways conferring resistance to ALK inhibitor treatment lead to collateral vulnerabilities in neuroblastoma cells.
(BMC, 2022-06-10)
BACKGROUND: Development of resistance to targeted therapies has tempered initial optimism that precision oncology would improve poor outcomes for cancer patients. Resistance mechanisms, however, can also confer new ...
Beyond the Driver Mutation: Immunotherapies in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-08-20)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and have become a concept of oncogenic addiction and targeted therapies.The large majority of these tumors develop after a mutation in KIT ...
Definitive study shows no association between ARID1A mutation status and clinical outcome in endometriosis-related ovarian cancers‡.
(WILEY, 2022-06-29)
The ARID1A tumour suppressor protein is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, which is mutated in approximately 20% of all human cancers. ARID1A mutational status is considered to hold prognostic ...
BRIM-P: A phase I, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of vemurafenib in pediatric patients with surgically incurable, BRAF mutation-positive melanoma.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Vemurafenib, a selective inhibitor of BRAF kinase, is approved for the treatment of adult stage IIIc/IV BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. We conducted a phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study in pediatric ...
Ripretinib in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors: an overview of current evidence and drug approval.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2022-07-26)
Over the past 20 years, the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors has acted as an important model in the advancement of molecularly targeted therapies for solid tumors. The success of imatinib has established it ...
Clonal hematopoiesis and risk of prostate cancer in large samples of European ancestry men.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-01-13)
Little is known regarding the potential relationship between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which is the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with somatic mutations, and risk of prostate ...
Immune selection determines tumor antigenicity and influences response to checkpoint inhibitors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-03-01)
In cancer, evolutionary forces select for clones that evade the immune system. Here we analyzed >10,000 primary tumors and 356 immune-checkpoint-treated metastases using immune dN/dS, the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous ...
Efficacy and safety of erdafitinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma: long-term follow-up of a phase 2 study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Erdafitinib, a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was shown to be clinically active and tolerable in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma and prespecified FGFR ...
Germline variation in RASAL2 may predict survival in patients with RAS-activated colorectal cancer.
(WILEY, 2023-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic agents that specifically target patients with RAS mutant colorectal cancer (CRC) are needed. We sought potential drug targets by relating genome-wide association study and survival data in patients ...
